T3rminator is a GTK3+/VTE 0.3x/Python 3 fork of Terminator, based on the terminator-gtk3 trunk with additional fixes for Python 3 and lots of removed features. The removed features is the main point of this fork, since upstream probably wouldn't support the removal of these features that I don't use anyway, but they really slow down the development of the port. For example, dbus support is completely absent from PyGI, so this mean no remotinator support. And there is lots of deprecated widgets (including transparency, sadly D:) that upstream still tries to support in their port to GTK3+, and I removed then for good. Going ahead I removed some unused code, trying to clean-up the code so we can later try to re-added features.

The code in this repository is highly experimental, so it may crash, eat your cat, launch a nuclear missile, etc. Since I don't have lots of time to play with this code anymore (it isn't even synched with lastest upstream changes), I am opening it so it may be useful for someone. I do want to remove even more code and, in the end, create a small program with features that is important to me (like window stacking) without including bloat (plugin support, for example), but this depends more of will to work/free time then anything else.

You will need Python 3, python-gobject and python-configobj installed in your system. python-configobj may be installed using pip, but python-gobject no, you need to manually compile it. You will probably want to install this package from your distro repository. In this page you can find how this package is called in some common distributions. In Arch Linux you can use the following command to install the dependencies:

# pacman -Sy python-gobject python-configobj

After that, just clone this repository and run terminator with Python 3:

$ python3 terminator

If everything is alright the main screen from terminator should run.
